The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The musician who always plays on the same string is laughed at. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The musician who always plays on the same string is laughed at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So runs the round of life from hour to hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8727]]></link><description><![CDATA[So runs the round of life from hour to hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to win anything-a race, your self, your life-you have togo a little berserk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22708]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to win anything-a race, your self, your life-you have togo a little berserk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is the remedy for every misfortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is the remedy for every misfortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44851]]></link><description><![CDATA[It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion is the genesis of genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion is the genesis of genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Entire water of sea can't sink a ship,unless it gets inside the ship .

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live out of your imagination, not your history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live out of your imagination, not your history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one of them.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firemen are going to get killed.
